    Hope Micro$oft can't get it to work .

    What is wrong with Linux on a PC , the concept was made for Linux not Micro$oft=(dig into your pockets and pay more) .

    Ford and Micro$oft teamed up , "Hello my car will not stat , says a invalid .dll file , error code 0023" , Tech "Sorry we don't know what that code means , have a nice day" .

      Give them laptops with Linux preinstalled. Works better, has less problems, much safer on line, doesn't require payment and will give the kids a great foundation for more robust operating systems.
